How/Where can I declare an object like @User so that it can be referenced globally in any razor view using @?
Something similar to:
_LoginPartial.cshtml:
@if(Request.IsAuthenticated) {
<text>Signed In As <strong>@User.Identity.Name</strong> |
but instead reference my object:
@if(this && that) { <text>@MyObject.GetData</text> }
You could probably do something like this in your View:
@Html.ViewContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.Name
I would recommend against that however, and add this information to a ViewModel. For example:
public ActionResult SomeController()
{
var model = new MyViewModel
{
Username = User.Identity.Name
}
return View(model);
}
Now inside the view you can display this information:
@Model.Username
